What you are looking for is a function that results in the value of change
based on the value of a purchase with the amount tendered a constant $20.


Let c be the amount of change, and we want c=f%28p%29 where p is the
purchase amount.


c=f%28p%29=20-p


I'm not sure what your book means by a function table, unless it is a list of
values for the independent variable (p in this case) against the value of the
function at that point.  Here's a fragment of such a table:


p c
3.50 16.50
4.00 16.00
4.50 15.50
5.00 15.00
